do you sting your self with your bees.

I was just wondering if you use your bees to help with arthritis? we used to have a guy come all the way from Washington to buy are honey made of wild desert flowers. black button sage etc. to help with his arthritis. but the one thing I used to do was get a few bees, and put them in the fridge,(in a jar) and when they was kinda frozen so to speek.(or to cold to move, I would pick them up buy there wings, and when warmed up. put their butt on my wrist. letting them sting me. i have to tell you this really works. I haven't had a pain problem in like 24 years now. and back then I couldn't hardly tolerate the pain in my wrist. not for those who are allergic. but it does work. just wondering if you ever tried this. ps. it does hurt.

I have never done this although I have gotten stung a few times working my bees (when I had them). I have heard that bee stings do help arthritis.
Now I've heard it from a first hand experience.
